Are you ready to make a significant impact on New Zealand's conservation efforts?
We are looking for a visionary influencer to initiate preparations for the Auckland Islands Eradication Project. This is your chance to drive a groundbreaking initiative and help protect one of our most precious ecosystems.
Eradication of pigs, mice, and feral cats from Auckland Island is the final step in over 30 years of investment, research, and innovation in restoring the New Zealand subantarctic World Heritage area. Set to be one of the largest pest eradication projects in history, it is groundbreaking in scale and complexity, anticipated to take 8 years and $78m. It represents a rare opportunity for a world facing a biodiversity crisis and would complete the vision of a pest-free New Zealand Subantarctic Area.
DOC will plan and deliver this project with our Treaty Partner.
